When I showed the books to friends who were natives to those countries, they laughed. They said the book is so bad and so outdated that I should throw it away. For obvious reasons, I am not going to name the books. But I strongly suggest talking to a native about their country before visiting their country. For example, did you know that the "okay" gesture is considered offensive in some countries? I'd recommend not to make any gesture that may have good intention in the US, but represents the opposite in a foreign country. Just to be safe. Last thing you need is to offend your host or your waiter. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Norwegian Culture & Etiquette</span><br /><a href="http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/norway-country-profile.html" target="_blank">http://www.kwintessential.co.uk/resources/global-etiquette/norway-country-profile.html</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-80387310954351898512011-07-27T11:49:00.000-07:002011-07-27T11:53:30.616-07:00The VikingsSadly, Norway has been in the news lately in a tragic way. I was thinking how many people know anything at all about Norway or should I say, how many don't? I was there many years ago as a child. I remember visiting Oslo but don't have a lot of memories of the visit itself. I only remember visiting a Viking museum. One memory in particular was one of the earliest Viking ship. It was a good experience. As a child I am sure that my recollection of the museum was that it was a big place, but now as an adult there is a good chance that it was a much smaller museum or a smaller room. Last thing I do remember is how beautiful is Norway.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Viking: Who Were The Vikings?</span><br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/vikings/who_were_the_vikings" target="_blank">http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/vikings/who_were_the_vikings</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-56828495048915190782011-07-27T11:29:00.000-07:002011-07-27T11:56:53.213-07:00I'm Back!It has been a year already.

Their statement simply states that "The Knowledge For Thirst is where Kevin Fanning and Joshua Allen sit around and jaw about beverages." A few post examples are "Monster M-80 Mixxd Khaos Assault", "Russian Variation of the Pepsi New Logo", "Pictures & commentary on failed sodas."<br /><br />At first, it appeared to be a small site, because I was looking for those "next post" text. It actually took me about a minute or two to realize that it's not the arrows on the top that I need to click, in order to keep moving, but the title next to them. Each page is dedicated to one topic. But when I looked at the archives, I saw a list of all the posts! There are many. I strongly recommend using the archives because you can see them all at once and choose the ones you are interested in reading. They have a few interesting titles.<br /><br />So go check it out at:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Knowledge For Thirst</span><br /><a href="http://www.knowledgeforthirst.com" target="_blank">http://www.knowledgeforthirst.com</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-91873746120471811552010-04-13T01:18:00.000-07:002010-04-13T23:06:11.486-07:00YouTube - A cat stands on 2 feet (original)How does this cat stand on two feet for so long?! ;-P<br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EI3WBamlxio&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EI3WBamlxio&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI3WBamlxio" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI3WBamlxio</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-30828400301519558482010-04-12T02:35:00.000-07:002010-04-12T02:48:43.985-07:00More But Bizarre Bottle Openers<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPVAT4ykKOyAX0FaKKb9Zmm4zRYJbkr1MdslNrrRZ0Y2yy8KwDp7NlMAT7jyE2CCFJJFSsjgYYaGjC4tFih7qn8ViS080FF6Y4z0ikLm_ANtJ_QNukfGQIGIj256EXDAplp89CULHEfw/s1600/bottle_hat_opener.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 323px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiPVAT4ykKOyAX0FaKKb9Zmm4zRYJbkr1MdslNrrRZ0Y2yy8KwDp7NlMAT7jyE2CCFJJFSsjgYYaGjC4tFih7qn8ViS080FF6Y4z0ikLm_ANtJ_QNukfGQIGIj256EXDAplp89CULHEfw/s400/bottle_hat_opener.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459185158961998482" /></a><br />I forgot to add this bizarre set of bottle corkscrews to my previous post.

I don't really know what to say at this point, because my brain is so fried right now at 2AM. Besides, they have so many categories that it takes a while to see everything. There are so many different types and styles of corkscrews. These aren't your typical corkscrews that are made these days. But I liked what I saw. It has been fun so far. Maybe some of them weren't so unusual back in the 19th century, but to now they are. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />The Virtual Corkscrew Museum</span><br /><a href="http://www.bullworks.net/virtual.htm" target="_blank">http://www.bullworks.net/virtual.htm</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-45561300329961133652010-04-10T22:49:00.000-07:002010-04-10T23:22:52.759-07:00Blog - munequitosrusosThis blog is in Spanish (the blogger is from Spain), I viewed it using the Yahoo Babelfish translator.

I am not familiar with this site, but I like it. I have not been able to find a specific statement as to what this site is about, maybe I missed it. But it appears that it provides emotional support for people who are going through difficult times emotionally and mentally. <br /><br />I can't guarantee though, that all the information in this thread is entirely accurate. Most likely it is. Either way, it has valuable information. <br /><br />As I have mentioned in the past, I have a hearing dog. So, this is why sites about service and assistance dogs intrigue me. I keep learning about different type of service dogs that I never heard of before. I've even heard of donkeys, ponies and guinea pigs as service animals. Also, about monkeys for deaf people in another country. Personally, I can't imagine walking around places with a monkey on your shoulder. I like monkeys, but no thanks. I'll stick to the dog ;-) <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Building Foundations - Paws & Claws</span><br /><a href="http://www.buildingfoundations.net/chat/index.php?showtopic=26875" target="_blank">http://www.buildingfoundations.net/chat/index.php?showtopic=26875</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-729866666299231552010-03-28T00:59:00.000-07:002010-03-28T01:25:12.864-07:00Lock a Lock<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vw6hbdxt85l5cF2hxTBB8YiwNEe6nPGgR966wvX-hks9sPiFY09LGNbcW_pRoE59LPYuxoQRrOtlEf_Z3Nni6wxMDWWScJCY1cjIb23FP3uLMW7H2iuv5dKLZgHZerdVaXZTtwjWD4k/s1600/locks.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 377px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vw6hbdxt85l5cF2hxTBB8YiwNEe6nPGgR966wvX-hks9sPiFY09LGNbcW_pRoE59LPYuxoQRrOtlEf_Z3Nni6wxMDWWScJCY1cjIb23FP3uLMW7H2iuv5dKLZgHZerdVaXZTtwjWD4k/s400/locks.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453593379919657666" /></a><br />I never really thought about their history. It's one of those things that you just don't think about. Besides, I always assumed it was possibly just a few hundreds years old invention. It didn't occurred to me that there is such a rich history for this little thing. But, I discovered that locks have been around long before the birth of Christ. They are often mentioned both in the old testaments and in the mythology. Once I read that, it made sense to me. I've also learned that there are many types of locks with different shapes, purposes and origins. There is even a lock museum in Terryville, Connecticut. I had no idea there is such a museum. It wouldn't even crossed in my mind.<br /><br />Also. I saw several other good links that I liked. Below are links for three sites that I enjoyed viewing.

The site is a museum that mainly focused on the beer and soda's historical background. I have never seen so many ads for old beer and soda cans which is what I liked the best. You can view them in the first link. In the second link you can see big collections of soda bottles, soda glasses, con top soda cans, and soda cans. There is a link within the second link that will lead you another page called "A Pop-A-Can Soda Story".

The company itself was established in 1939.<br /><br />According to the site, the goal was for the industry was to concentrate on delivering high performance and low maintenance, as well very strong and durable vehicles. The focused to paying off a low operating cost with the driver productivity and high resale value. That was basically what the focus of Peterbilt when it was established. If you will keep reading, you'll find that there is quite a rich history for this company, that actually does begin in 1900 before the trucks even existed yet. There were motor wagons that were motor driven commercial. There was a big competition at the time. But when the steam power was fully in use in the early 1900's those wagon were no longer in a higher demand. People now turned to the railroad system which was much faster and thus a faster service. The rivers and the canals also became highly useful as another mean for transportation. This early technology paved the way to a company called Peterbilt which gradually become a top trucking company since its birth 1939. If you do the math, it is a 71 years old company. I don't know of many companies that still exist after so many decades.<br /><br />Much more information at:<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Peterbilt</span><br /><a href="http://www.peterbilt.com/history.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.peterbilt.com/history.aspx</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-62709895172445719522010-03-22T04:14:00.000-07:002010-03-22T04:23:39.916-07:00Soviet Pressed Steel Vehicles At Tri Ang<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrKYraU7Gc4jOmL6WcJv1bjjfxpnNoD5dWie6bODDc_NY3w4g3DuKZUyLVyT7q26uZan3ZcRqQsbk4QdGW_YXUubkSV7Hr9xG_LBUp7rfLeXoy1Y0ar__9BCnOM-K_uQLuwRjOkJ9k4Q/s1600-h/russian_presssteel_vehicles.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 325px; height: 352px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrKYraU7Gc4jOmL6WcJv1bjjfxpnNoD5dWie6bODDc_NY3w4g3DuKZUyLVyT7q26uZan3ZcRqQsbk4QdGW_YXUubkSV7Hr9xG_LBUp7rfLeXoy1Y0ar__9BCnOM-K_uQLuwRjOkJ9k4Q/s400/russian_presssteel_vehicles.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451415755469512402" /></a><br />I admit, I don't really understand much what this page is all about.

She now is the Training Director for the new independent HDP. She has now started a new training blog.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Blog - Hearing Dog Training</span><br /><a href="http://marthahoffman.info/blogs/blog6.php" target="_blank">http://marthahoffman.info/blogs/blog6.php</a><br /><br />In her new blog, Martha will be describing all of her HDP training visits that are interesting and how to train. If you are in another dog training list or sites, could you please pass this information along. So since she just started the blog, it's very fresh.<br /><br />I volunteered to help promote her blog. Hopefully, it'll bring more awareness about these service dogs. Many people don't know what hearing dogs are. They are not widely known like dogs for the blind. I've been in situations where people didn't want me to go inside the store with my previous hearing dog, Bodie, but explaining that he is a service dog helped most of the times.<br /><br />You know, I've had people asking me what kind of things does the hearing dog perform for me. But when they ask me for more information about the training, it becomes harder for me to explain because it's not that simple. There is more than just training a dog to do basic commands like sit, stay and come. This blog has answers to all those questions with details and descriptions.<br /><br />I've known Martha for many years now. She has a lot of experience and can vouch for her as a good trainer. She helped me a lot when I was dealing with Bodie's mischiefs.<br /><br />Above is Shelby, my new hearing dog. She is a Black Lab who just turned 2 years old early March. Thanks to Martha she is now a part of my life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-47637138839849282872010-03-19T12:56:00.001-07:002010-03-19T13:19:18.386-07:00What Is Your Local Airport Code?I don't know how many airport codes exist in the worlds. Probably in the hundreds if not thousands, I haven't got the information although I could probably try to count them. I'm sure it'll take me a while if I included military and small airport codes. Their codes are different.<br /><br />Ever wonder how the airports even got their codes in first place? Here a bit of history. I haven't seen many good sites with more history of the codes. But if I'll find one I'll post it. This site has pretty good information though. I like it quite a bit. I did see many nice sites with tremendous airport codes on Google. Some have four letter codes.

Their kitchens is the one place that visiting family members and friends are unwanted. It's practically a taboo. This article is regarding a popular Japanese show called "Totsugeki!

I am. I loved the show except for the creepy episodes. Like when William Shatner sees a beast on the airplane's wing. And the one where a young woman who lives in a world that everybody look like pigs with third eyes, has a face surgery. She has bandages on her face, so we never see what she looks like until the end of the show. Once the bandages are removed, she looks at the mirror and screams. Her surgery was a disaster. She is in a sharp contrast to these scary pig like being. She is beautiful with two eyes. She would be beautiful on earth, but on this planet, where a beauty would someone who a pig like creature with three eyes she is an outcast.<br /><br />But a big favorites of mine, is the one where the Robert Redford plays the Angel of Death which was actually a nice angel. I can see why he was such a heart throb at the those days. As the angel of death, he helps an old woman to face the reality that it's her time to go and not to be afraid. He plays and an injured man whom she nurses back to health, or so she thinks. In the process of getting healed, he slowly charms her, and shows her there is nothing to be afraid of. He helps her not to afraid of death. At the end he finally convinces her, and she lets her fear go. There is more to that. Her house is being demolished, but she refused to go. I think it's a symbolism for her fear of death. Do you think?<br /><br />The Paley Center For Media which is located both in NY and LA has a lot of information about the show from all kinds of aspects including Rod Serling's early career. It's a wonderful reading and if you read about it, you will learn about the show's premier, the show influence on Stephen King, Star Trek, Cindy Sherman, and more, Surrealism, distinct graphic look at the TZ, legacy, panoply of stars, and the collection at the Paley Center For Media. Besides the Twilight Zone, there are other topics that are not related to the Twilight Zone that are features on this site that also includes fun. <br /><br />Make sure you know where you are though. I still haven't quite mastered the way of the navigation yet. But, maybe it's just me. I was a bit lost trying to view other interesting subjects. Overall, I love this site very much and enjoyed it. the Paley Center would be a place that I'd like to see in person.<br /><br />I also liked the "perspectives on media" page. Its pretty cool. They have good topic for practically anyone. I think it's a good page to focus on at if you are at lost, because it includes most or all of the topics in this site, besides, it's fun too.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />The Twilight Zone Forever</span><br /><a href="http://www.paleycenter.org/the-twilight-zone-forever" target="_blank">http://www.paleycenter.org/the-twilight-zone-forever</a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Perspectives-On-Media</span><br /><a href="http://www.paleycenter.org/perspectives" target="_blank">http://www.paleycenter.org/perspectives</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-54974427509528686022010-03-14T00:42:00.001-08:002010-03-14T00:49:20.302-08:00Fantastic Lego Art<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UCMv9OH5cL5W5rnZIMZakPO28fLvZOeYPeWSrUOzsBAnJaFGDA9KqKNPiqHwhEkElE4j-NxkePQFYwz4Qr2LydDf-26GDzsWGidKwb9XuTGzHrwwsInjcKOKf-fqMpjMxRJePdI00Ow/s1600-h/lego_element.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UCMv9OH5cL5W5rnZIMZakPO28fLvZOeYPeWSrUOzsBAnJaFGDA9KqKNPiqHwhEkElE4j-NxkePQFYwz4Qr2LydDf-26GDzsWGidKwb9XuTGzHrwwsInjcKOKf-fqMpjMxRJePdI00Ow/s400/lego_element.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448407775991596818" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLrW6OP-LWIjIOGmKzny9MuI2C0HApvEREf0DhGmM4bmt6XfNwaYmFjPqjp_BzDICbeUNgF-n1bzmuWvdJ5617pzYoSJqpzbeCV_qpTy35IBUHvJPXgTnClIqQEUVrverQFQl0-QkvFe0/s1600-h/lego_cobra.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLrW6OP-LWIjIOGmKzny9MuI2C0HApvEREf0DhGmM4bmt6XfNwaYmFjPqjp_BzDICbeUNgF-n1bzmuWvdJ5617pzYoSJqpzbeCV_qpTy35IBUHvJPXgTnClIqQEUVrverQFQl0-QkvFe0/s400/lego_cobra.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448407522699122866" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ctGDP3y6GcAr7qi7BL2kJGCj6_mkiAsqNEV2JVS7kmIKjr33NyO1R9yk_kOGp5AnxJNfUk9tCF9lqpxrmllzCnHosTcdqqMRZvKzOoo2AWbBmfejDGOMjaerlRoOCpuCePzjcZAQcNs/s1600-h/lego_truck.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 195px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ctGDP3y6GcAr7qi7BL2kJGCj6_mkiAsqNEV2JVS7kmIKjr33NyO1R9yk_kOGp5AnxJNfUk9tCF9lqpxrmllzCnHosTcdqqMRZvKzOoo2AWbBmfejDGOMjaerlRoOCpuCePzjcZAQcNs/s400/lego_truck.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448407389117788914" /></a><br />It's amazing what people can do with Lego, isn't it? It never ceased to amazed me to see new Lego artwork. One of the most impressive that I've seen was a few years ago. it was a full size Volvo. <br /><br />The Brothers Brick is all about Lego art.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Brothers Brick</span><br /><a href="http://www.brothers-brick.com" target="_blank">http://www.brothers-brick.com</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437115774898485349.post-61756464534703851422010-03-13T10:45:00.000-08:002010-03-13T11:33:33.453-08:00Little Marie & Her Brothers On YouTubeWhen I was little I used to watch Donny and Marie Osmond variety show on TV back in mid-70's. I loved their show and the pearly smile ;-) Presently, I'm no longer their fan, but I still enjoy watching their old clips. The first clip I actually saw on a TV biography. It is a clip from the Andy Williams show in 1964, with the Osmonds kids. Donny was 6 in this clip. I used to love Andy Williams specials as well. He was very charming, wasn't he?<br /><br />The big reason that I like this clip, because it also features little Marie who is adorable as a shy 4 years old. If I remember correctly, this was her first "performance" in public.<br /><br />Unfortunately,the ebbing is disabled, so just follow the link.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />YouTube - Lida Rose - Andy Williams & The Osmonds</span><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MLtzKJQevI" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MLtzKJQevI</a><br /><br />Below is another link that I liked.

My stomach is practically chiming in now. But I am gonna say "no thanks" to the Jalapeno Chocolate and the Tamales chocolate. They are way too HOT, I'm sure. I can't even imagine what they taste like. There are some "attractive" chocolate photos, but the image above was my favorite. Pretty neat!<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Blog - On Motivation and Chocolate</span><br /><a href="http://motivationbychocolate.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://motivationbychocolate.blogspot.com</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
